§ 68. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Education the difference between the programmes of requirements for school buildings made by local authorities to his Department in 1957; and to what extent they were reduced by the policy of the Government.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydThe value of projects submitted by local education authorities for the 1958–59 school building programme was about £100 million. This was about twice the value of projects started in previous years. I have authorised projects totalling £51 million to start in 1958–59.
